I've had a great experience working for Professional Physical Therapy. I have been mentored by many members of management which has allowed me to improve my patient care and leadership skills. I would recommend this job to any of my friends. Excellent atmosphere. Top notch management. Great place to work.

Excellent working environment. All offices are kept to high standards enabling PTs to have access to state of the art equipment. plenty of continuing education opportunities. I have been provided many opportunities to grow in leadership and clinically.

Worst mistake was to accept a PT role at this company. Management is all money oriented and they want you to see 20 plus patients a day to make their numbers and investors happy. Steer away while you can!

It is a great place to start working. Every co-worker I've met has been really pleasant, energetic and happy. The company's overall message from the CEO is motivating and philanthropic. You see a lot of patients so you will be able to fine tune your manual and verbal skills. This is a corporate business so daily/monthly numbers are always being talked about which could damper your outlook. There has been a lot of change and a lot of experienced therapists get moved, so learning opportunities drop. Frequently there is not enough coverage for PTs on vacation/sick, so doing a lot of doubles are expected, but you do get compensated hourly for extra coverage. The beginning salary and hourly rate is very low with minimal increases.

Too many locations and not enough people to staff or manage them. Poor room for growth, even with a B.S. and constant recognition from upper management. Most members of senior management are related or long time friends. Hours are long and they make you feel guilty when you take time off.

Barely made the 40 hrs a week because patients are always canceling or no showing. Once the PT notices she will stress you about it and it's not worth the pay. The person training me was lazy only showed me how to do the end of day nothing else. Horrible place avoid the Caldwell location!

Ive worked here for nearly a year and did not enjoy it too much. At first, the job location was not convenient for me, but aside from that, the job itself was not much of an excellent experience. Don't get me wrong, you do learn a lot about modalities, exercises and stretches, but as an Aide you handle most of the patients care. A patient enters, and you help set them up with equipment and exercises then jot down their completed exercises. Then the PT would see the patient for about 5 - 15 minutes. Your job is to keep going back and forth looking over 4 - 6 patients at a time. It's not much of an outgoing workplace, but more of a factory. (A patient described it as that too).

Pro PT has a patient factory mentality. It's all about the numbers with no regard for personal life. Salary and bonuses are way below industry standards. High turnover for administrative and clinical staff.

Pros

1. Able to work with top docs 2. Employees 3. The holiday party (where our bonuses and salaries go)

Cons

Salary; Split shift; Management; No incentive pay for marketing after hours or working doubles

I worked here for 6 months. Initially it seemed like a great job but It wasnt all that it was cracked up to be - not even a little bit . They do an excellent job of selling you a dream but you quickly see the true colors if you're smart. They basically threw me into the job barely training me and also into a location that was so busy where the people who were supposed to train were so stressed and overwhelmed they couldnt train you properly. I then started realizing what the job was really about, its a number game. They want to make sure their numbers are good they have a number of patients they want to see per day and if not they will stress the employees to the max, but when you are underpaid its not easy to cope with that stress. They'll move you around from location to location and management will bribe you into things with zero incentive. Most of the higher ups are friends and truthfully you'd be doing yourself a disservice trying to complain about the conditions under which you worked.

ALWAYS SHORT STAFFED. People dont stay with this company (not at the level which I worked) usually, its a revolving door. Most fridays I closed an office of about 150 patients by myself it was terrible. The workload was insane and they expect so much from you for such low pay. I met a few good people here and yes one can move up very quick but.... for me it wasnt worth it. $12/hr was just not worth the stress.

And even if you do your very best they will stick you at the end. They will let you go before the end of your two week period to prevent paying you for the remainder of yourmore... days. To me all they care about is money they dont have their employees best interest at heart. They have over 100 locations and ive met many employees who experience the same thing.

Working for Professional Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy was great. It was my first job and I loved everyday there. It was an office setting but it felt like home. All employees truly cared about each and every patient.

They pay their employees pennies, and always bribe you by saying you can move up, however they expect you to perform the task but they do not compensate accordingly. There is no job security, plenty of people have quit or stayed with the company and have not moved up.

Initially i enjoyed working for this company but then i noticed the true colors. They are mostly worried about patient visits and tend to overload schedules. From the front desk to the clinical staff you are overworked and they are still expecting more from you. They underpay their employees to pay these big names in upper management 6 figure salaries.

This company will show you all you need to know about the medical field. Its a fast growing company where you can grow and develop. I entered as a receptionist and worked my way up the ladder and then became a Site Supervisor. Lots of space for growth.

I worked a rotating shift of 40-46 hours weekly. Clinic hours were Monday to Friday from 7am to 830pm, with seasonal Saturday hours from 8am to 12pm. As a front Desk receptions at the company’s main office, we received and directed the company’s highest volume of telephone calls and saw largest amount of patients daily. My location treated an average 185 patients on a daily bases, and our patients’ age ranged from ages 4 to retirees, with a variety of life related physical therapy injuries.

My job duties included but was not limited to greeting patients, scheduling appointments, training and applying insurance policies and procedures as needed. It was a fun fast paced family oriented environment. My location had 8 – 9 Physical therapist on staff daily and was just one of the company’s clinic located in queens of an estimated 18 clinics throughout the Tri- State area.
